Kid Bookie has shared the next taste of his debut album Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead.

Today the artist unveils Love Me When You’re Angry (featuring Ziey Kizzy), and despite what’s seemingly a darker song title, Bookie wants to promote a message of hope with this one.

“In this generation where everything’s such a microwavable moment – it has two minutes, it’s hot, and then you take out, and it’s just done,” he explains. “This song is asking to give a little bit of hope, a little bit of something to hold on to.

“It’s about how our heart changes for a person and how we learn how to adapt to each change and the shape of their heart.”
